CUPPING

Let it flow.

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping is an ancient healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, used for thousands of years to relieve tension, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Using gentle suction from glass or silicone cups placed on the skin, cupping increases blood flow to targeted areas. This helps release tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and support tissue recovery. It is widely used for easing pain, improving mobility, and supporting nervous system balance.

Cupping also supports lymphatic flow and skin health, helping to reduce stagnation, ease puffiness, and promote a healthy, natural glow.

Health Benefits of Cupping

  • Relief of muscle tension and tightness

  • Improved circulation and blood flow

  • Reduced stress and nervous system tension

  • Support for respiratory health and congestion

  • A sense of relaxation and overall balance

Temporary marks may appear after treatment as circulation increases in the area. These typically fade within a few days.

“I’ve experienced successful results with Sonal at Renew Accupunture. I came in experiencing shoulder pain and by my 3rd session I was pain free! I appreciate Sonal’s communication skills, she always makes sure that I understand exactly what she is going to do for each session. I appreciate that she is willing to continue with what works, or to try something new. I also really enjoyed cupping, which was new to me. I have gotten good results and my expectations have been met. I will continue to see Sonal for maintenance and general well being, as she also provides me with Chinese herbs.”
